This buggy is a must-have for active families. It will grow with your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain easily.
What type of buggy do want?
A double buggy with car seat buggy is perfect for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also serve as prams, and they have recline mechanisms within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lie down in different positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They are usually light that folds easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking that the buggy's maneuverability using the folded wheels, and to take out and into your car boot.
You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other mums strollers, or even in one as a kid. They're great for twins who are older or who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in various seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're generally easy to steer and, if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, make light work of kerbs.
Tandem buggies are a popular option because they're more maneuverable than a side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first and not on the top. They're generally wider than a side-by-side and can be bulky when folded, so it's crucial to ensure they fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a buggy.
Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair from birth then convert to a double by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They are more expensive than tandem double buggy buggies and side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and have a high cost of resale. They are easy to steer and have large storage bins. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with a built-in ride-on board and 'cinema seating' for your older child.
Do you have twins?
Double buggys are the ideal method of transporting your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies which have one child sitting above the other, and side by side buggies. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in size to fit through doors. Tandems are generally larger overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seat.
Do you have one?
At first the idea of having a younger sibling can seem like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the infant. A double buggy can allow them to feel a sense of belonging if you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with a sense of pride as they become a "big brother or sister" and help them get used to their role.
Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered the best option for twins because they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be hefty and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek double buggy with a unique frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also offers different configuration options, including the second seat to create the bassinet.
We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and love to explore. This innovative buggy is a single pushchair that can be converted into a double strollers with one hand fold by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and it comes with a variety of clever features that will ensure that everyone is happy.
Do you require a business travel system?
Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't required for every family. You could use one stroller and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that permit you and your child to ride on their backs or in front.
There are three types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats close to each other, so your children can see each other. However, they are generally larger than a single pushchair, and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact that has one seat in the front and a second one at the back. However they can be heavy and lengthy to push.
Convertible double buggies are wonderful because they let you convert your single stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your baby in the car seat until she is ready to move up into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board.
When your children get older and more mobile, you can use double buggys to accompany them to cycling trips or other day trips in which they prefer walking. But, it's important to remember that they may not always prefer to ride in a twin buggy from birth and can easily become disgruntled and tired on longer outings.
Before you invest in a double stroller, consider the factors above and your family's unique circumstances. A durable and reliable double buggy can make your life easier, particularly when you are required to navigate through busy streets or crowded malls.
